I was born in Douala, the most significant city of Cameroon (Africa). My parents were Cameroonian and Cape Verdean. I grew up in Cameroon and went to Primary and Secondary School in Douala. More than 15 years ago I settled down in Germany.

From an academic perspective, I finalized 2006 a PhD in Economics. The focus of my Research Work was the Development of a Reference Organization Model for Relationship Banking (CRM Banking).

Prior to my PhD, I studied Business Administration and Computing and graduated 2000 from the Aachen University (RWTH Aachen, Germany). Furthermore I had the opportunity to participate in an Exchange Program with the Erasmus at the Reims Management School in France.

During my studies in Aachen, I joined some Student Organizations. For example I was a Leading Member of the AIESEC Organisation and also Representant of Foreign Students at the Aachen University.

Today, I am living in Duesseldorf and working on strategy topics in the tele-communications, media and technology industry. Some of my leisure activities are arts, golf, squash, music old-timer and travelling (Barcelona, Bruges, Cannes, Nice, Monte-Carlo, Madrid, Munich, Paris).
